Carey Mulligan has maintained a longstanding partnership with Prada that spans nearly 20 years. Her relationship with the brand began when she gained recognition as Kitty Bennet in Joe Wright’s adaptation of Pride & Prejudice in 2005. Reflecting on her experiences, Mulligan shared with Vogue, “They were really the first people who ever dressed me for anything, and they made my wedding dress. They feel like family to me. I always just feel really at home, and really myself [in] their clothes.”
Beyond her wedding attire, this collaboration has given rise to memorable fashion moments, including Mulligan’s iconic 2010 Oscars dress, which sported whimsical miniature cooking utensils. “It was just so kooky, and weird and wonderful,” she reminisced, deeming it her favorite. The actor also recalls her stunning gold and silver paillette ensemble from the 2012 Met Gala, along with her recent campaign for Prada, shot by Steven Meisel, where she channeled various characters. “I absolutely loved the storytelling that went into it. All of those looks and those wigs, and the incredible makeup that Pat McGrath did. That was an incredible experience to make that,” Mulligan reflected.
For her chosen look at Prada’s Spring 2026 show, Mulligan has opted for comfort in line with her personal style philosophy. She expressed satisfaction, stating, “This is the comfiest I’ve ever been going to anything in my career, I think,” while donning an oversized blue shirt layered with an ivory silk jacket, complemented by black tailored trousers, sleek black satin pumps, and the ivory Dada bag. She mentions, “I just feel the best when I’m comfortable—not just for when I’m slouching around the house, but for dinner or going to an event [too]. I always just want to feel like a slightly more polished version.”
After enjoying the company of friends such as Maya Hawke—who she amusingly recalled played her daughter in Maestro—and Kerry Washington while attending the event, Mulligan is set to return home. She is currently engaged in an exciting project with Greta Gerwig, contributing to the much-anticipated Narnia film. “I’ve always wanted to work with Greta—I think she’s one of the best filmmakers working today,” says Mulligan. “And [being] in a children’s film has been a big career goal, so I’m really excited.”
